Kilometre is a luxury brand like no other.
We believe that the discovering the world is the ultimate luxury. Our clothes are destined for travellers and for those who love life. We combine flavours, destinations, literature, sound, and music to create a community of travellers for whom beauty has no limits or frontiers. Kilometre.Paris surfs the waves of fashion to travel in original and unexpected ways. The brand has launched a series of exclusive designs embroidered onto 19th century white dress shirts from the south of France. The exquisitely detailed embroidery is done by hand in Mexico and India, and each shirt is based on the idea of travel. Company founder Alexandra Senes (former editor of Jalouse magazine, judge on the French version of Project Runway, consultant for luxury brands such as Hermes and Harpers Bazaar), carefully selected over 20 up-and-coming destinations (the St. Tropezs of tomorrow) and teamed up with designers and artisans to transform the shirts into illustrations of our destinations. With each shirt comes a “second skin” and a passport containing a guide to the destination.”

SS 2017

Travel as a lifestyle, exploration as a mark of pride, discovering the world as the ultimate luxury: Kilometre makes our imaginations go wild, drifting into far-off and unexplored places.

Kilometre uses vintage shirts as its canvas to express the meridians and parallels of travel. The shirts take their wearers on a journey down the road least travelled. Procida rather than Capri, Kastellorizo instead of Mykonos, Hudson Valley and not the Hamptons: Kilometre evades the expected, and unveils the Ibizas and Saint-Tropezs of tomorrow. Our shirts are covered with embroidered representations of these elusive places - maps, rough sketches, coordinates - each like a cherished memory.

Kilometre’s global quest has led it to producing its collections in multiple countries. Baskets from Morocco, painted plates from Senegal, carpets made by weavers in Fez, shirt dresses embroidered by hand in Mexico and India - Kilometre entrusts skilled artisans from around the world in the creation of its products.

As Dostoevsky once said, “Beauty will save the world”. We invite you to join us in our search as we journey into the great unknown.
